[QUOTE="gixxerjasen, post: 1266244, member: 20220"] Nice to see your mirror folded...mine didn't and snapped off. Mine has been down twice at no speed. First time it was fairly empty and I snatched her right back up. Last time was a few weeks ago. Loaded down for a trip she went over with her wheels stuck up in the air. With all the added weight I knew I wasn't lifting her up on my own. Add in the lack of O2 at 8K feet altitude and I had to man up and ask for help. That's hilarious. Depends on what minor damage there was. When you have insurance you expect them to fix it up like new or total it out. If the frame is scratched that means the frame needs replacing. The labor cost to replace the frame far exceeds the cost of the damaged parts and will cause the bike to be totaled. My FZ1 had the steering head part of the frame damaged and needed the frame replaced. Total bill for all my damage with labor involved would have bought me two brand new FZ1's. Hence, why they gave me a very small check for my very old bike. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
